Money {s not necessarily a Sap thing_of_great intrinsic value__A (yardstick may be made of silver and.a pound weight may be gold, cop- per or iron. Yet heither the length nor the value of the measured cloth nor the weight nor the value of a bag of sugar will be in any alered or influenced thereby. Whether money is of paper or gold or silver or copper or nickel, its jee as a measure of value is the same. A check is not money, because a check is no more a measure of value than a bilt of goods is the equiy- ;a@lent to a yardstick. A check may call for money as a bill of goods may )eall for so many yards of cloth, but a woman can no more wear a re- welpted bill instead of a dress than a man can pay his bills by merely writing out checks unless his bank will give money for them. Tais illustration contains the difference between money and yard- *@ticks or bushel measures or pound’ weights. Besides being a measure ~ of value, money ig a méans of transferring values. “It is a medium of texchange. A check is also a medium of exchange. So are a bill of lad- ing, 2 bill of sale and other written Instruments used to facilitate and | to token a transfer of property. But none of these is a measure of value. Value is measured in dollars as weights are measured in pounds. A Hollar is arbitrarily defined by law, which also arbitrarily defines a yard, a pound and a bushel. By an amendment to the coinage law a dollar could be made to consist of half as much gold. This would not increase ithe value of gold. Neither would it increase nor diminish the value of } _ bread, meat, diamonds or anything else that gold dollars now buy. Their Price would double, but price and value are not the same thing. Price is merely the ratio between the gold of a dollar and the exchange value of other articles for that gold. wa! —— brane + iOo89 900000000000 The official yardstick of New York is marked on the corridor wall of the City Hall. The official dollars of the United States are in somewhat like manner stored in the Treasury and Clearing-House vaults. Of the $1,484,845,280 gold in the United States, $1,109,458,330 is locked up unused. Except asa basis for confidence as a remote redemption fund, this money answers no purpose which could not be equally well fulfilled | by. one sample of each gold coindisplayed in a frame on the wall, like the City Hall yardstick. The law requires that this gold shall be so kept. It requires banks to keep a gold reserve or its equivalent... It requires the Treasury to keep | gold.

POOR English squire, Richard Jennings by name (one of twenty-three A children), would probably have been dumfounded had apy one told him that a child of his should oxe day rule Great Britain, Yet his daughter Sarah (a beautiful, clever girl, born in 1660) wus to sway the destinies of the country 2s abyo ag her mother had directed the work= ings of her kitcken. What pretty Sarah lacked {m wealth she more than made up for in brains, As ‘a child the ‘litle Jetinings girl was a playmate to Princess Anno, younger daughtér of the Duke of York (jater King James Hl, of England). Anne was stupid, weak, easily Jed, Serah was Ruperious, fascinating, 9 torn leader: Antie grew to worshin the briynt youngster, to rely om her absolutely, to, her Nghtest, wishs In ‘their intimacy it was Sarah, who was the real printess,-wuile Aune was her adoring, foolish slave. And thus began the close friendship that was to endifre for long years and was. to raise the squire’s danghier to that exalted rank kaown “The Power Behind the Throne,” of England. ‘Anne grew up and married Prince George of Ijenmark. Sarah became her maid of honor. At eighteen she married a rjsing young army officer, John Churchill, whose brains and good looks equalled her own.

Iborough and his Duchess received a huge royal park at tock and Anne built thereon for them, at national expense, 200,000 palace. This estate was named Blenheim, {n honor of. one of Churchill's battles. Sarah (now Duchess of Marlborough and enormously rich) continued to direct politics according to her own Interests and the Duke's, and to receive the cream of all royal favors that were dispensed. But, like many another brilliant devotee of fortune she made the mistake of forgetting that the favor of those in high places {s far more enaily lost than won, She grew imperious,.urdered poor old Anne around as though the Queen were a chambermaid, and began to omit the superficlal deference she once had shown. Anne for years bore all this meek Such natures as hers are specially designed to be influenced and bull by others, and take a sort of morbid joy in being thus treated. But Sarah, clever as she was, had overlooked one possfbility—namely, that a stronger influence than her own might one day be brought to bear on the Queen. And this Is just what happened. Sarah had found a place at court for a poor relation of her own, a Mrs. Masham.
